(i) the transformation of non-city territories and environments; (ii) the production of energy, raw materials, and food; (iii) geopolitics and empire; and (iv) socio-environmental crises such as global warming and biodiversity loss.
Major research projects explore the interplay between city-building processes and, among other issues ...

We are the Urban Theory Lab. We have just set up this account, having departed from "X" like so many others. We are based at the University of Chicago (under the direction of Neil Brenner); our work involves collaborations with many friends and comrades at other institutions.
